I'm still a Boy scout... at heart..
I think most of us have had "deja vu" experiences or like the feeling someone is looking at you from behind and by golly they are..or had an experience which would seem to be against probability ... say the likely hood of meeting an aquaintance in a situation where it seems unlikely.
When I was a Boy Scout years ago (Some think I'm still a Boy Scout) my troop had a display in a popular store window down town.. well for some reason I had a feeling of dread about it and felt veery reluctant to set it up.. but I went ahead to the store anyway and began setting it up.. but the feeling of dread was even more powerful.. I sat down outside trying to understand it.
All of a sudden a car leaped the curb and smashed through the window.. In those days automatic shifts were new and this lady thought she was in reverse and was pressing the accelorator to move the car in reverse... Well the car leaped over the sidewalk and into the window where I would have been.

cheers tao...forgotten... lol...
anyway... now I know there isn't a tricky part two where you rail at us for being pseudo-psychic pussy losers... I will speak my mind...
for me personally, I've experienced a lot of psychic phenomena over the course of my life...
I once made a point of trying to write down my memories of each experience, and although I won't bore u all with details, I will say that generally, there was no evidence whatsoever I could use to "prove" these experiences where anything other than supposition and an over active imagination...
you notice I said generally...
You see, on some occasions, I had proof that my dreams and visions were not just delusions... I had real evidence...
On analysis, I concluded that... consciousness is not a personal, individual thing... consciousness is more like a radio frequency, and some ppl's recievers can pick up on some ppl's frequencies... consciousness is a field, which we share with each other, and something which goes beyond the confines of our own heads...

There's someone in my head but its not me.....
I have had a load of things myself that I really have to stretch the credibility of statistics and chance to accept as anything other than precognition. They seem to come in waves with me too, been in one recently as it happens. I dont think we have much idea what reality really is yet. And I do not think it something we have 'lost' either. It maybe something that is emerging in us though. Great evolutionary advantage in knowing "what happens next".
Still cannot remember what 2nd question was

I agree totally, good post. It's weird though how some people are not so susseptable and others are.

I was thinking today, why don't we collectively experiment with this field see if we can transmit/recieve beyond chance?
here's a link... ganzfeld experiments
have a look at the ideas, for those not familiar with it...
I suggest if ppl like the idea of participating, we do it...
Here's a common list of non-religious symbols:
1. basic geometric shapes:
a)square, b)circle, c)triangle, d)rectangle, e)star,f) infinity
2. basic mathmatical shapes:
a)equals, b)plus, c)minus, d)divide, e)greater than, f)less than,
3. basic signs of measurement/money:
a)percentage, b)dollar, c)pound, d)euro, e)number symbol,
4. basic english language symbols:
a)exclamation mark, b)question mark, C)ampersand,
5: the sign for a musical note
here there are 21 symbols.
Of these 21 symbols we can create a poll and have each of these symbols as a response, to collate data. I think you can hide results of poll until poll is over, and so we would need to have a window of response.
Suggested experiments:
1) to identify a random group of unknown bodies I suggest first we all choose a symbol, and all participants are included. If we are christians we should not choose a cross, nor a buddhist a circle, nor a jew a star, a musician a musical note, etc etc, as this could corrupt the experiment.
We should then all try to decide which symbol everyone else has used and select the response for each. I suggest we all try to focus at a set time on each other, and the symbols, then post on a poll.
From this we could ask: who seems to score a lot of hits? Does anyone score higher than chance?
Are there other patterns, such as one person whose symbol everyone gets right? Are there participants who seem to know the majority of symbols of others? Do those who think they're psychic get better results overall? Are people's guesses more accurate than chance?
If so, we can refine the experiments, send more complex images and such, maybe move onto words, or sentences... for this we need to split those whose results score statistically higher than chance into two camps, senders, and recievers, and then experiment again, using more complex symbols, words, images, et cetera... I would not suggest we do a poll of this, and think we would then need an impartial selector, who would then send a msg to senders, giving them object/word, to send, and ask recievers to again, focus at a set time, and again, we then collect data and post results.
The more ppl interested the better, I reckon...
